As many of you are aware, Jackson underwent an intensive open heart surgery on October 21st. The surgery didn't go as planned and  ended up being much more invasive then they expected. Today (Monday, Oct 24th) they tried to close his chest and put in the wires for his pacemaker. His tiny body was just not ready. The doctors are hopeful he will be ready by the end of this week or early next week. With the procedure not going as planned and having other issues arise, it is unknown how long he will need to be in Rochester.  As Jay and Lisa's sister and aunt we are that asking anyone who is able to give a monetary donation to cover out of town cost for Jay and Lisa to please consider it. We are hoping to relieve some of the stress of paying for food and lodging for them. They are not ones to ask of others, but we feel helpless at this time and we want to help ease a little bit of the financial burden at this time . Above all if you are unable to spare any monetary donation we are asking you keep Jackson in your prayers. He is the sweetest boy who is fighting a battle larger than most of us will ever encounter. We are so hopeful that he will be back home in no time  and watching bullriding on his dads lap and flashing us those baby blue eyes. 

On behalf of Jay, Lisa, and Jackson we thank you for the prayers and support. They certainly don't go unnoticed. 

Tasha and Angie
